Indicator not visible to EA

I'm trying to use the ma-wpr.mq4 in an EA. but it doesn't give the EA a value. apparently something to do with the buffer. Anyone know how to fix it or if there is another indicator that does the same thing that an EA can see. It's just a MA of the %R indicator Thx {file}

... the moderator says that if the indicator was build using 0 or 1 in the buffer that can't see the value.

Thx RaptorUK I looked at the MQL4 forum in hopes that I could figure it out, but i is beyond my skill level. From reading the MQL4 forum, it seems that it might be the EA that has the issue not the indicator. I'm using fxDreema EA generator to create my EA, and the moderator says that if the indicator was build using 0 or 1 in the buffer that can't see the value. So I was hoping that I could find what to change the 1 or 2 to that would let the EA see the value. or find someone that would do it for me. or find another Indicator that doesn't have...

double f_dTool_1 = iCustom(CurrentSymbol(),CurrentTimeframe(),"ma-wpr n", 39,10, 0,0+IndicatorMoreShift());

int RaptorShift;

RaptorShift = IndicatorMoreShift();

ok i posted the wrong code before, but I edited what you sent so this should be right (please confirm)
This seems right to me as shift 1,2, and 3 show the correct value. But i don't understand shift 0 being 2147483647.0000

The EA should draw an arrow when the value crosses the -50 of the indicator from shift 2 to shift 1, but still does not.

These EA generator type tools are pretty badly written and generally produce poor code.

Ok, so it seems to me with all my vast knowledge with coding (not) that i need to get the EA to get the value for bars 1,2, and 3. In the EA generator this is listed as "Candle ID" which i have set for 1 and 2. I did a search for IndicatorMoreShift() both in MQL4 forum and Google. the only results were from Google. 4 results were found including this post. the other 3 were from fxDreema's [url=https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffxdreema.com%2Fdocumentation%2Fcollection%2520of%2520functions%2520for%2520mql4%2Findicatormoreshift&ei=OVyyUZTgMca_igKT54CIBg&usg=AFQjCNEZF0gZgZ38Dl-3wVXN0zEx1gkDTQ&sig2=_0DABD_2AKff9qxcwFW6vQ&bvm=bv.47534661,d.cGE]Documentation...

If i were to attempt to just change it to "1", how would you do this? change IndicatorMoreShift() to IndicatorMoreShift(1), and if so under "double" or "int" or both? To narrow my search, if you were to write this code what function declaration would you use in place of "IndicatorMoreShift" and could you make this change just in "iCustom or would have to include changes in other parts of the code? I'm trying to get Documentation from fxDreena on IndicatorMoreShift, if i do maybe I'll run it by you and see if it's an easy fix or not Thx...
